My Lord. I don't even know what to say. I honestly feel like I lost a close friend that I knew well. Well I didn't know Sharp Shooter well but he was indeed a good friend. He reached out to me awhile ago and we chatted a lot in Pms. It was very evident this guy was a good egg.

While I'm terribly sad to see this news I can also say my life is better having known SS than had I not.

Sharp Shooter, my friend, please keep a shooting bench open for me when I arrive. While I'm in no hurry to get there I so look forward to meeting you. And no better place can I imagine doing that than at the range. God Speed my friend. You will be sorely missed.

Rest in Peace Sharpshooter. Your struggles are finished, your load now carried by the Lord of Hosts. Your wit and wisdom will be sorely missed by all here. Our prayers and condolences go out to his family.

Why do I carry a gun? Because I'm getting too old to win a fist or knife fight any other way.
